About this property

The salt air reaches you before the view does, near the end of a quiet, private drive. Eighty-five feet of low-bank shoreline, and a home built to a standard this market rarely sees. The meticulous craftsmanship will meet the expectations of the most discerning. A stunning custom burled walnut staircase, curved and painstakingly built up layer by layer. A La Cornue Château range. A calacatta marble-covered primary bath, and Ann Sacks tiled guest baths. Spacious living all open to the Puget Sound, the Olympic mountains, and the sunset — the west wall belongs to the rooms you actually live in. Built for entertaining, or for peaceful days of solitude. Outside, a gently sloped stone path leads to the boathouse and a large deck extending the length of the beachfront, where a fireplace sits right at the water's edge — the kind of place an evening can end no matter the season. This house was a years-long conversation between an owner, an architect, and a builder about how good a house could be — and the answer is everywhere you look. A rare kind of tranquility and privacy, with the city still close at hand.
